Why we love it
Seibelseckle brings a sense of place to a Black Forest ride. Beside the Schwarzwaldhochstraße, the saddle sits among wooded heights, with a clearing and roadside stopping point giving the forest landscape a recognisable landmark.
The pleasure lies in the way the wider ride reaches this setting. Trees frame the road, the high ground gives the journey its shape and the changing light makes the surroundings feel different from one visit to the next. Settle into a measured rhythm and enjoy the road as it unfolds.
Seibelseckle has a welcoming human scale. A familiar place for people exploring the Black Forest, it brings together riders, walkers and others drawn to the hills. A considerate pause lets you take in that atmosphere and appreciate the woodland country beyond the tarmac.
We like the character a place like this adds to touring. There is satisfaction in recognising the names along a great road and discovering what gives each one its identity. Seibelseckle offers exactly that: a forest setting, a named saddle and another reason to savour the journey through the high Black Forest.

The scenery
Wooded slopes surround the clearing, giving the location its high Black Forest setting. The landscape changes with the light and seasons, making a pause part of the experience.
Alpine Roads tip
Use designated stopping areas and take care around people enjoying the roadside facilities. Enjoy the forest surroundings from a suitable place off the road.
